Kannst Du in drei Sätzen Dein Projekt vorstellen und sagen, was speziell der digitale Anteil daran war? Der erste Deutsche Kaiser Wilhelm I. (1797–1888) und seine Ehefrau Kaiserin Augusta (1811–1890) führten zeit ihrer fast 60-jährigen Ehe eine umfangreiche, teilweise tägliche Korrespondenz, aus der etwa 5.800 Briefe archivalisch überliefert sind. In der digitalen Edition Das preußische Königspaar Wilhelm I. und Augusta zwischen „Neuer Ära” und Reichsgründung  werden nicht nur etwa 2.500 dieser Briefe (und Telegramme) aus den ereignisreichen wie folgenreichen Jahren 1857 bis 1871 vollständig … Continue reading „Hätte ich das mal eher gewusst …mit Jan Markert“ →

Lecture: Embedding the Past: From Visual Artefact to Semantic Data – AI-Supported Workflows in Digital Scholarly Editing, 22.05.2026, online

Keine Kommentare

We invite you to the online lecture by Prof. Dr. Michael Schonhardt (TU Darmstadt) on 22.05.2026 from 10:00 to 11:30, organised as a part of the seminar series ‘Legal History Meets Digital Humanities’ at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory.

The presentation will focus on the AI-driven datafication of historical sources, ranging from medieval manuscripts to early modern correspondence, into structured and semantic data. It will explain the Digital Editing Toolkit, a modular AI-based editorial workflow, and discuss the potential of vector embeddings and entity linking for new heuristic approaches to digitised source corpora. Finally, it will evaluate how these methods reshape the role of the editor in the age of large-scale datafication

Re-Use of Editions and Text Collections: The Role of APIs – Workshop Report

Keine Kommentare

In late January 2026, approximately 50 researchers, developers, and representatives of memory institutions from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and the United Kingdom gathered at the University of Zurich for a two-day event to discuss specific use cases for APIs in digital editions and to develop ideas for future API specifications. The event was organized in collaboration between the Università della Svizzera italiana, the University of Bern and the University of Zurich within the context of the swissuniversities-funded project ReSED API. 

Little Data Reuse in Digital Editions

Digital editions data is extensive, varied, and high quality. Despite this it rarely gets re-used beyond the original project context. Richly encoded TEI editions with carefully structured metadata and detailed annotations often remain locked within individual project websites, making it difficult to compare texts across corpora or integrate annotations and materials in new research or teaching contexts. We see this as a great missed opportunity.  

This concern motivated us to run the workshop “Re-use of Editions and Text Collections: the Role of APIs” (Zurich, 29-30 January 2026), aided by the Open Research Data funding line of swissuniversities.
